The War Within 11.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Lady Atia]

if they remove hogger I would be pissed x 100.

Hogger died in the Stockades Dungeon. And I doubt someone burried him in order to have a corpse for Wratheye, but a decayed-up Hogger would be cool. Maybe they could go the troll route and summon his Spirit from the Shadowlands in order to possess another Gnoll?

Someone might even watch it

Will probably get eyes for 10.2 dungeons and the unknown event could be something

Actually, I think Hogger is a generational name given to leaders of the Elwynn gnolls. So might just be a Hogger in the new Elwynn.

Hogger probably had some son called chogger.

Or a daughter called Hoggatha, Daugther of Hogger.

The idea that Undermine is the only unexplored "Cave" in WoW is also kind of ignorant. Hyjal Barrows were part of WC3 and pretty massive. Then there is also the Oracle Cave in Stonetalon.

While true, if the next expansion is underground as towelliee has suggested, then Undermine would be the most logical location for a faction hub, since it is a neutral underground city.

On a side note, it is rather amusing to see myself mentioned in that twitter thread. People need to relax and understand that this is only speculation.

Or whole family, council of hoggers raid fight, all ressurected by the gnoll that ran away in DF.

[Reive]

can we get some good leaks please? this leak season is super boring lol

[Cheezits]

If Hoggers child performs cruel and unusual punishment, they could be Flogger.

This is it. And the smallest hogger-pup will become our battle pet after we slay his siblings.

Without joking, I think there was a scenario in a recent expansion where you enter the stockades and it is hinted that the hogger in there was only someone in a suit.

There must always be a ominous crash of lightning Hogger.

I don't really care for a world revamp for reasons of modernization, but I think it would be really cool to see what the passage of time has done to the "old world". Especially with probably less death, destruction and worldending doom happening than in Cata. More room for "classic" adventures and so on.

Figured I'd assemble some tweets from WoW devs. Got any more?

Chris Metzen
It’s been amazing working on Warcraft again. Like coming home. The stories we’re developing right now – how the world unfolds over the next few years… Well, I can’t wait for y’all to see where we’re headed.

SOON…

Christie Golden
Azeroth is home. Very, very excited to have this gentleman back and for you all to see...well...

Mike Ybarra
Happy to engage with
@ChrisMetzen
on the future of Warcraft!

See you all at BlizzCon.

Aramis
Having gotten a tour of the kitchen preparing the AMAZING FEAST of stuff being planned for BlizzCon...

Terran Gregory
Been working with Chris a whole lot since he came back last year - and can’t wait to share what’s been cooking at Blizzcon and beyond! #workwork

Christie Golden's "Azeroth is home" part is really fun to read. My heart hopes it's a revamp hint.

I kinda like Chris' bit about "how the world unfolds over the next few years". It might be nothing, but it feels like the world will see some major development.

Whether that's a revamp, or major new landmasses being found, or even just the story branching out into more games and stuff, I dunno. But I'm excited!

[Nymrohd]

I honestly struggle to think what could bring as much hype as a revamp but I refuse to get my hopes up.

[Makorus]

Cataclysm was the hypest expansion reveal WoW has ever had and I don't think anything will ever top that.

suspicious question... hm...

Yikes people voting for Elwynn. Vanilla Elwynn, sure it was great. But current one is just not even good. Tirisfal meanwhile is probably the BEST starting zone when it comes to story after the Cata revamp. Meanwhile I feel Dun Morogh and Durotar don't even manage to do decent world building. Teldrassil at least does that (but not much more).

I think every WoD, Legion and BfA all did amazing reveals.

[Selorian]

My issue with the big Cataclysm-like world revamp theory is the Dragon Isles were designed to be the new player leveling experience, replacing BFA. It strikes me as odd that they would then immediately revamp the old world to yet again create a new player leveling experience.

I wonder when people think of starting zones if they think of Vanilla or Cataclysm. I still tend to think of Vanilla zones, but I'm sure for most players those versions are unknown or distant.

That being said, Tirisfal is right on the money. Cata Forsaken were awesome.
